How to quickly rename multiple files in Windows

Rename multiple files in Microsoft Windows XP
Explorer by following the below steps.
1. Open Explorer.
2. In Explorer select all
the files you wish to
rename.
3. Once the files have
been selected press F2
and type the new name
for the files. For
example, typing "test"
will rename the files to
test, test(1), test(2),

also type the name of

different name, you can also quickly go through
files by following the below steps.

rename for the
highlighted file. After
the file has been
renamed press the tab

need a more powerful tool for renaming multiple
files in Windows we suggest the Bulk Rename
Utility.
